DESCRIPTION

ALX

73x

Settings: ["Foot first", "Head first"]

• "Foot first": Alignment of the print image as shown in [37A].

• "Head first": Alignment of the print image as shown in [37B]. Note the following:

 Define the "true" label length (without label gaps) in parameter

PRINT PARAMETERS > Material length. If the label gap is longer than 5 mm parameter

SYSTEM PARAMETER > Miss. label tol. must also be set to a value greater than zero.

 The distance between the material zero line and the first printable dot is 1 mm.

To maintain this distance in head first mode, calculate the material using the fol-

lowing formula:

, where

Mat

: Material width

: Carrier material width

X - Printadjust The zero point of the mask is shifted in relation to the edge of the label on the X-axis,

i.e. perpendicular to the material.

 If the setting is changed while a print job is stopped, the printer recalculates the

format with the modified values.

Setting range: [-5.0…+5.0] mm; presetting: 0 mm

• Maximum adjust (offset) away from the edge of the label: +5.0 mm

• No offset: 0.0 mm

• Maximum offset toward the edge of the label: -5.0 mm

Y – Printadjust The zero point of the mask is shifted in relation to the punch position on the Y-axis, i.e.

in the direction of feed.

 If the setting is changed while a print job is stopped, the printer recalculates the

format with the modified values.

Setting range: [-5.0…+5.0] mm; presetting: 0 mm

• Maximum offset in feed direction: +5.0 mm

• No offset: 0.0 mm

• Maximum offset opposite to feed direction: -5.0 mm

SYSTEM PARAMETER menu

Light sens. type Sensor type

Select the sensor type or the type of mark for beginning of the label (reflex marking or

punch).

Settings: ["Reflex", "Punched"]

• Reflex: Reflex sensor (detects reflex markings)

• Punched: Transmission sensor (detects reflex punches)

Ribbon autoecon. Ribbon saving (ribbon autoeconomisation)

Ribbon saving can be used to interrupt ribbon feed through areas of the label that are

not printed. This saves ribbon, especially for long labels with very little printed surface.

Settings: ["Thermal/head lift" "Thermal printing", "Enabled", "Off"]
